Horses

HELLO AGAIN!!!
I have one idea and i think it will change the game for all times and that idea are HORSES.
I think it will be great to have horses in the game or other raiding creatures.
For example you could travel faster, be a witness of great battles of Nordic cavalry and Deadras or just think yourself with shiny armor and great spear on the big white horse I know it is cool. OR
If you are black wizard on big black horse and in your right hand great staff of power...
Anyway answer me i want to know what are your thinkings about this.
See you soon BOG CUVA SRBE!!!

There are no horses in MORROWIND because the dunmer like to eat them... this is mentioned during the game. So putting them in Morrowind province would be against lore, and that, we don't want right?

, But in other provinces, yes they are possible (Oblivion will have horses) so we could put them in.

But there are already mods that add Horses to morrowind, if you like it try the official forums to find them.

There's not horses on Vvardenfell because the dunmer eat them, and they coulden't survive the climate... But I don't think it's against lore to put them around in tamriel... There have been many discussions about horses in the rest of morrowind( and tamriel), but not on Vvardenfell.

One strange thing is: Why do not the Imperials bring horses to morrowind? I don't think the dumner natives would have eaten a warhorse owned by an imperial general...

They wouldn't probably touch one of a general, yes, since that would be theft. But horses aren't adapted to live in a region like Morrowind, especially not on the island of Vvardenfell with the ashstorms. But after the Nerevarine killed Dagoth Ur this could change of course.

ANUBIS-SERBIA asked if it would be horses. I found another discussion about horses...

Vegor (Reviewer) said:"Please use the forum's search function. Yes, there will be horses. In Skyrim and beyond. Just not in Morrowind."

I also think it would be a cool idea to add horses to Vvardenfell after the blight is gone... They could perhaps not survived in the harsh climate on the bitter coast, or in the ashlands, but maybe on the grazelands...

The bllight is gone but the Ashstorms are a natural weather system, and the horses can't survive anywhere in Morrowind, not just Vvardenfell.

There is actually a book ingame in which a noble Imperial brought a horse to Morrowind and told on of the Dunmer at the inn he was staying in to look after it. Later when he complemented them on his meal they told him it was his horse, he wasn't too chuffed about that.

While I was reading forums I came upon this question about horses. I think, and also I know Anubis ( we go to the same school ) , that he didn't wanted horses and only horses.
He wanted to ride a creature, to walk less between places. I know that the horses conflict with lore, but other creatures do not. There could be a trained guar, or something like that.

Anyway, this is a great idea...
P.S. BOG CUVA SRBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are creatures that are riden by lone Dunmer in Morrowind, the PGE describes them: 'A courier clatters by on the back of a 20-foot-tall, crab like creature.' basically anything large and insectoid would do. I think there's already a ridable guar mod floating around somewhere...

BTW WTF does 'bog cuva srbe' mean? I know srbija means serbia so I assume it's serb or serbian or something along those lines.

'A courier clatters by on the back of a 20-foot-tall, crab like creature.'

Silt-strider.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n · Sat Dec 25, 2004 3:46 pm

How the hell does a silt strider resemble a crab? LOL In any case isn't there a load of concept art showing creatures similar to the PGE description being ridden by Dunmer?

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 4:23 pm

Yeah, silt-strider. And go and look at silt-strider again. It does look like crab. Giant crab.

I think it should be horses and other riding creatures in most provinces exsept morrowind, elsweyr and black marsh. (Maybe summerset isle?)

My idea of riding creatures for thoose provinces:

Morrowind-ridable guar or nixhound

Elsweyr-Sabretooth tiger or some elephent looking creature

Black marsh-Crockodile\fish looking creature that both swims and walks

Summerset isle-Roc or a dragon looking creature.(Flying)

just some ideas...

Let's worry about the other provinces when we come to them.

As for the 20-foot crablike creature, if you ask me, this was merely what the rutumbo was with the guar: a design sketch changed to fit the game when they came to it.

One can simply say it was an Imperial referring to a silt strider, or perhaps some ancestor or cousin of the silt strider.

There is already a guar riding mod.Do some reasearch on Google.(or Yahoo,whatever)

Eraser · Post by **Eraser** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 6:42 pm

or vorrheis' plains strider

If horses are asked about one more time, I am going to scream.

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 6:44 pm

Or it could be plain-striders.

EDIT: Damn, Eraser you beat me to it.

BTW maybe horses for Morrowind ?

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n · Sat Dec 25, 2004 7:38 pm

BTW for the person who brought up Elsweyr - they have Khajiit that are several times taller than an Altmer the Senche and Senche-raht are ridden (but only by other Khajiit) as mounts, especially into battle. I like the idea of the Altmer having dragon-mounts but it conflicts with lore in that dragons are almost extinct in Tamriel, only a few are known of and they are in the Emperor's service. Something similar should be drawn up by someone talented at such artistic endeavours.

But the rieklings in Bloodmoon rides boars.
And is it any rieklings in Skyrim?
